It was evening, and the temperature was getting cooler in Huajiancheng, and it started to drizzle and the wind blew, and the cherry blossoms fell into Huajiancheng.

At this time, a layer of cherry blossoms were already laid in the Hongyebaya in Weiyang Palace, like a pile of snow, with raindrops falling on it without any sound.

However, a small ditch that secretly leads to Yanzhi Creek outside the palace under the small corridor in the dock makes a tinging sound from time to time, which is crisp and pleasant, but also makes the quiet and elegant at this moment more.

Although it was already April, due to the warm and cold spring and the influence of the small glacier climate, Zhu Youxiao had already worn a cloak and sat next to the dock to listen to the song.

The playmaker was Gu Hengbo, with a smile on his flawless face, his slender jade fingertips naturally tugging the strings, and the pink skin wrapped in tulle was slightly red against the fire in the brazier beside him, which was somewhat shimmering with the blush on his cheeks.

The slightly undulating strapless opposite the Guqin did not cover up the tension in her heart, although the long hair that flew straight down from her ears after taking a shower was swaying in the wind and trying hard to block the wide and narrow gullies.

The brazier was bought by Zhu Youxiao when she saw her thin clothes and trembled slightly while playing the piano.

Zhu Youxiao did not keep staring at her. He had not yet reached the point of losing his mind when he saw the beauty. The Ministry of Revenue's audit results on the financial expenditure of the 18th year of the Apocalypse reached Zhu Youxiao half a month after crossing the ocean.

However, the information revealed behind various figures is not optimistic. Although the total wealth value of the Ming Empire has increased a lot in recent years, with the rapid expansion of commercial scale and the limited capital capacity of the state, the proportion of the new economic growth of the royal capital is becoming lower and lower. However, the spending figures of the country for large-scale construction and popularization of Han culture are becoming increasingly large, and the Ming Dynasty's economy is still facing a deficit crisis.

In addition, there has been excessive production capacity. The current rate of increase in social demand is far from keeping up with the rate of increase in productivity. If you want to maintain the stable development of the Ming Dynasty economy, you can only control the production capacity and start to implement regulatory policies. You can no longer be in the fast lane stage and produce unscrupulously. However, this will still lead to a decrease in the growth rate of total social wealth. The intuitive manifestation is that the income of workers directly linked to production will be greatly reduced.

Today, there is a huge number of workers in the Ming Dynasty. There are almost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of workers in every provincial capital city, especially in the two capitals, which has exceeded one million. In other words, once this phenomenon continues to develop and prepare for the future, it is likely that millions of people will be riots or even rebellion.

Therefore, while controlling the production capacity to not develop excessively, Zhu Youxiao also has to ensure that the total social wealth can still grow rapidly.

How can we achieve this? We can only open up new trades and sell new products. But now almost all the ones that can be sold are being sold, and even the ban on gun exports has been lifted.

Because of this incident, Zhu Youxiao became a little annoyed. He suddenly wanted to calm down, so he knocked his hand on the railing. Gu Hengbo's hand, which was about to pluck the strings, stopped.

As a famous Qing Gong Gu Hengbo could naturally see the melancholy between Zhu Youxiao's eyebrows. She gave a cup of tea appropriately: "A mantra of the Qingxin could not relieve Your Majesty's worries. It can be seen that I am not good at piano skills. Please forgive me."

"If you don't do your business, what is the most profitable deal in the world?" Zhu Youxiao's words made Gu Hengbo feel disgusted with him. At first, it would be fine if he didn't listen carefully to the piano. Now he asked some things about money. Naturally, Gu Hengbo, who has always pursued elegance, felt vulgar. However, Zhu Youxiao is an emperor after all, and she is just a priest. She has a huge disparity in status, so he naturally dared not show it. He had to agree: "Of course it is opium, which can make people lose everything, and it is much faster than gambling, listening to operas, drinking and drinking wine."

"Ox?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, suddenly frowned and put the teacup heavily: "I ask you, how did you know that opium can make huge profits? Is it now that the opium has flooded in the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao looked serious and thought that this was a master who could kill people with a disagreement, Gu Hengbo was so scared that he was so gloomy that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, opium has indeed been known to everyone. Because Your Majesty does not allow foreigners to operate this, and bulk goods are sold by the imperial court, it has long been common for private trafficking of opium."

"Get up", Zhu Youxiao was very angry, and at the same time he didn't understand why the opium that suddenly flooded in the 18th and 19th century suddenly became a popular industry at this time.

But now that it is time to be greedy for fun, Zhu Youxiao is not going to lose his temper in front of Gu Hengbo, so he hid his doubts in his heart, got up and picked up Gu Hengbo directly, and a bad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Hengbo couldn't help but moan, and understood what His Majesty was going to do now, so he couldn't help but close his eyes.

For a moment, with a clang, the inner door was closed tightly from inside, and Gu Hengbo was also thrown by Zhu Youxiao onto the bed. Then, as soon as the Hongluo tent was untied, the rustling sound of the wide-clothed clothes untied came out.

It was not until dawn the next day that the rooster sang the white world that the red silk tent was closed by a pair of lotus arms. At this time, there were not only Zhu Youxiao and Gu Hengbo on the mandarin duck mattress, but also several pairs of beauties who were taken by Zhu Youxiao for being very popular in the inner world. They were all white waves rolling down with cuckoo red.

When Liu Rushi came with her breakfast, Zhu Youxiao had already left the gate and stood under the lotus pavilion in the dock and started to play Tai Chi. He stepped on the pebbly ground with a loud sound without any sign of being hollowed out.

"Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?" Liu Rushi couldn't help but ask, then brought out a bowl of millet porridge, a small butterfly bag, and a pair of silver chopsticks on the stone table. At the same time, he picked up a wooden plate containing a towel and a wash bottle and walked over.

Zhu Youxiao wiped his hands: "Okay, put all these down and call Wang Chengen and Li Mingrui. I'm waiting for them here. In addition, I told him to ask a few people to serve some of the people inside. I've had a bit of fun, so I guess they can't get out of bed at this moment."

For a moment, Wang Chengen and Li Mingrui had arrived here, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say much, but just ordered: "Prepare immediately. After three days, I must return to the capital before the summer solstice. In addition, I will come to Shenyang to see me, so I must not make any mistakes!"

Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen looked at each other and felt that although His Majesty seemed calm on the surface, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to leave Fusang early. It seemed that something big happened, but the two of them didn't know how to ask in detail, so they had to respond.

After the two of them stepped down, they grabbed the governor of Fusang, Yang Tinglin, and asked in detail who the Gu Hengbo was and why His Majesty suddenly shortened the inspection time after sleeping with him for one night.

Yang Tinglin naturally said he didn't know.
